Available Options

In the Vajra Assembly, formal MSB members receive teachings from Rinpoche on topics such as lineage, devotion, and the integrity of being a Vajrayana practitioner in the Longchen Nyingtik lineage. Full program description. Rinpoche encourages all formal MSB members who have gone through the lineage ceremony to attend Vajra Assembly in its entirety, whether in person or via streaming.

Those unable to participate in the live program can attend by purchasing the digital download, which is an option in the registration field above. Due to the special nature of these teachings, the download is $108 and is considered a form of attendance.

The Sangdo Palri Temple is at the top of a long, steep road. For everyone’s safety, we ask that no one drive their car up to the temple. There will be a shuttle service each day that runs between 7:30-9:30 am and again at the end of the day. Please plan to stay up at the temple the entire day; shuttles will not run during the lunch break. You may also walk up to the temple (1 mile, up hill).
